Investiture of the Gods
"You,
You don't love him at all. "Tuozan pointed at Siyang and shouted, her face twisted.
It was as if this kind of thing had refreshed her worldview.
"Love.
How can I not love him? "She patted her belly gently, as if to comfort the fetus in her belly.
Don't be frightened by the chaotic scene here. After patting twice, the little guy in her belly responded with two small fists.
The smile on Siyang's face deepened.
"It's just that …" Siyang finally gave Xue Pinggui a charitable look.
Seeing him look at her with a shocked and incredulous expression, she sighed.
He sighed, "The Wang Baochuan who loved Your Majesty is already dead …"
"His Majesty killed her with his own hands." She bent down slightly and stroked the hilt of the knife with her fingers.
Xue Pinggui's expression was also distorted by Siyang's actions.
"You, you dare to kill the emperor." Xue Pinggui, who tried hard, finally gritted his teeth and spat out a few words with difficulty.
Siyang covered her mouth in surprise. "How can His Majesty say that? The injury on your body was caused by the Imperial Concubine. What does it have to do with me?"
"Shut up.
You're a vicious woman.
Didn't you pull him in front of you to block the knife just now? " Tuozan listened to her slander and cursed. Then she thought of something and sneered. "Wang Baochuan, no one can save you this time.
Even if I don't kill you,
Do you think Xue Pinggui will let you go. "
"Is that so?"
She let Cui 'er support her.
Siyang glanced at Tuozan indifferently.
She touched the hairpin in her bun. "Do I need him to let me go?"
Tuozan looked at her.
She was very uneasy in her heart. Just as she was about to say something, she was stunned. Suddenly, a sharp wind swept past her ear. She only felt something scraping her face.
The sound of a sharp blade piercing into flesh rang out again.
One of the men in black who had been protecting Tuozan only had time to let out a muffled groan before collapsing to the ground.
"Ah —" Tuozan was startled. She saw that the person who was talking to her just now was now lying on the ground with an arrow in his back. He didn't seem to be breathing at all.
Before Hawksbill Zan could recover from her shock, there were several whooshing sounds in the air. The Xiliang soldiers that she had brought to rescue her were all shot by arrows and fell to the ground one after another.
Outside the gate of the palace, orderly footsteps and the clanking of armors could be heard. A row of fully-armed and golden-armored soldiers swarmed in and surrounded Tuozan and the few remaining soldiers of the Xiliang Army.
"The imperial concubine colluded with the Xiliang rebels and tried to assassinate His Majesty. Today, she will be executed."
A dignified voice came from outside, and the golden-armored soldiers parted on their own accord. The newcomer was dressed in general armor and had a heavy sword at his waist. He walked forward with steady steps, his wide black cloak fluttering behind him. When it fluttered, one could almost smell the stench of blood coming from his body.
Siyang looked at him carefully. They had not seen each other for a few months. Compared to the gentle appearance he had before he left, the current Li Yi had a more iron-blooded valiance. Compared to the past few days, the battles on the battlefield must have been battles of life and death.
Siyang blinked her eyes and lowered her emotions. She looked at her stomach and smiled. Fortunately, it was time for everything to end now.
As soon as Li Yi entered and threatened Tuozan, he looked around and saw a familiar figure being supported to the side. At this moment, her protruding stomach was even more obvious.
Li Yi scanned her up and down. After confirming that she was not hurt at all, he let out a sigh of relief. He was almost a step too late. If he had been a bit late, he really did not know what would have been waiting for him. Of course, he would definitely not accept it. However, everything was fine.
"My beloved minister, my beloved minister, you came at the right time. Quick, quickly arrest these traitors for me …" Xue Pinggui's eyes lit up when he saw Li Yi. He had already pulled out the sword from his body and the wound was bleeding non-stop. Now, he saw hope.
Xue Pinggui, who was lying on the ground, raised his hand and pointed at Siyang, who was standing in front of him. He panted heavily and squeezed out his words: "Also, also arrest this bitch."
Siyang took two steps to the side in disgust, trying to stay as far away from Xue Pinggui as possible. Xue Pinggui was very angry and his blood flowed even faster. However, Li Yi was very happy to see her small action.
"What are you waiting for? Arrest these people for Wang. Kill all those who resist."
Tuozan was just about to give the order, but because of Li Yi's words, she stopped. Now, everyone could see the situation clearly. She did not have many people on her side, and after the surprise attack just now, there were even fewer people. They were no match for this group of people brought by Li Yi.
But to let her be arrested without putting up a fight? She was not reconciled. Her eyes were wide open and red because of the grievance in her heart. She was about to succeed, it was all … right, it was all because of Wang Baochuan.
"Wang Baochuan, it's all because of you, bitch." She fiercely pushed away the golden armored soldiers who were about to arrest her.
"Even if I die, I won't let you go." Tuozan madly pounced on Siyang, her hands brandishing her claws. Her face was distorted and she looked like she wanted to die together with Siyang.
Cui 'er was shocked and tried to stop her, but she was no match for Tuozan. She was swung away and thrown to the side.
All of this happened too quickly. Li Yi was too far away to stop it. His expression changed greatly, but he could only watch as Tuozan pounced on Siyang. With Siyang's current body condition, if she were to be pounced on, she would definitely be in danger.
If one had to say who was the calmest at the scene, it would be Siyang. In the eyes of others, Tuozan was unbelievably fast. So when she finally got close to her, when her hand was about to touch the corner of her clothes …
Slap!
A ruthless slap, crisp and loud.
Tuozan, who took this slap, only felt her body sway uncontrollably. The scene in front of her turned upside down. It was not until her body fell heavily on the ground that she realized what had happened.
"You, cough cough …" The moment he opened his mouth, he coughed out a mouthful of blood. Within the blood were two teeth.
Tuozan, who was lying on the ground, only then did she feel the stinging pain from her cheek.
Shaking her hand, Siyang looked at the battered and exhausted Tuozan with a smile and raised her eyebrows as she asked, "What about me?"
Li Yi finally ran to Siyang's side. Without looking at the others, he pulled her over and asked anxiously, "Are you hurt?"
This question was too blinding. Anyone with eyes could see who was the one who hurt who. Princess Zan was still lying on the ground.
Unfortunately, Li Yi turned a blind eye to all of this.
